How would the programming process have prevented the errors from being made in the construction documents?
Over the past five weeks, Ive come to realize the true importance of the various stages of programming in the creation of sound design solutions. Ive seen how it became an extra set of eyes for me as the designer and programmer, which made me see possible areas of concern and troubleshoot them. Some of the areas of concern noted above are not as severe as to endanger the clients safety. Nevertheless, they are still focus areas which the programmer needs to consider. If XYZs designers only understood this critical tool, then the above corrections wouldve been avoided and therefore better address client values and ultimately improve accessibility and overall customer-friendliness of the space.
Describe in your own words how the programming process fits into the overall design process.
Similar to a ground troop assessing the perimeter before proceeding with the attack plan, designers have a better chance of finishing a successful project once programming becomes an integral part of their trade. A design program acts like a battle plan which presents every aspect of the mission. From the current situation to the types of individuals involved, to the kinds of materials needed and the amount of time allotted, programming gives designers the big picture in high-definition before ultimately diving into construction. This critical cornerstone has the power to provide designers insight and the ability to get a glimpse of what to expect once the project is complete; the final checklist before we say, attack!

Requirement: The finish plan reflect a fun and relaxed atmosphere with unique activities and design that will lift the spirit. There was also a request for warm and cool strong colors. The finished plan exhibited here is relaxed but does not display a fun, spirited nature. Solution: Alter selections and include colors and textures that are brighter and have a higher contrast. Introduce complementary hues and balance the color combinations through value harmony.
Requirement: Easy maintenance and clean ability. - The flooring surface in the exam rooms (carpet) may not be the best surface for clean ability and maintenance. This is an area that should remain as sterile as possible and be able to be wiped down with solvents. Solution: Use vinyl tile or ceramic tile for the floor service in the exam rooms.
Requirement: Easy maintenance and clean ability The flooring surface in the storage room is carpet. Solution: For easier movement of heavy boxes, supplies and copier maintenance a vinyl tile would be a better solution. Requirement: Flooring, base and wall finishes need to be included in the Doctors offices. Solution: Include finish choices in the construction document.

Requirement: Two chairs in the nurses station No chairs were included in the furniture plan. Solution: Include two chairs in the furniture plan. Requirement: Refrigerator in the nurses station no refrigerator was included in the furniture plan. Solution: Include refrigerator in the furniture plan. Requirement: Baby Scale in the nurses station No baby scale was included in the furniture plan. Solution: Include a baby scale in the plan for the nurses station. Requirement: Table and seating arrangements in the break room No furniture was included in the furniture plan. Solution: Include a table and chairs for dining in the furniture plan for the break room.
Requirement: The cabinet needs to be ADA compliant There is a full cabinet view in the construction document which is not ADA compliant. Solution: Reconfigure the construction document to specify ADA accommodations.

Programming fits into the overall design process bysetting the stage for the design synthesis. By developing a sound and thorough program document, the design phase, while iterative, would have a foundation based on facts, values and goals rather than by the assumptions of designers. Clientswould havebeen consultedandtheirideasand concerns incorporatedinto thedesignbringingtotheprojectthepersonalizationandrealizationoftheprojectintent.As the first step in the overall design process, a properly executed program will maximize the potentialforasuccessfulprojectwithoutcostlymistakes.

Faucets should be located on side of sink for ADA and childrens reach.
More space should be provided to allow for a small refrigerator and a microwave.
Lav sink base should not be enclosed. Panel should cover piping and be ADA compliant or, at the least, the toe kick should be 8 high. Faucet should be located at the side of the sink, rather than the back.

The nish selections represented here do not re ect the design intention of the client. The colors are neutral and have little contrast making them appear very institutional. The program document indicated that the nishes should be bold and bright. Vinyl tile is not a sustainable material and should be replaced by MCT or an equivalent. Carpet should be limited to o ces where heavy tra c patterns and spills would be minimal. Other areas of the clinic should have easy to clean surfaces.
